"Hello?"
"Who's there?"
"Arm."
"Oh, right. I...you promise you won't tell anyone about this?"asked the voice on the other end.
"Uh, sure."said Arm.
"Listen. I...well, see, it's just that...my birth control pills disappeared."
"Oh?"
"Well, who could've taken them?"
"I...have no idea."
"Well, that's why I'm calling you, isn't it?"
The girl on the other end was almost in tears.
"Well, we'll we right there. Another mystery at the same place."said Arm as he put down the phone.
"Wow. At this rate, we'll end up with the house and everything."said Lance. "These X Men have never run out of mysteries. This is actually turning out to be a good business!"
They went, and Jean wanted them to talk where no one would hear them.
"Where do you usually keep these pills?"
"In my drawer."
"Hmm. Makes sense it would've been a girl. Women usually know where other women will usually hide things."
"Right."
"Who do you think it was?"exclaimed Jean.
"That's just what we need to figure out. Who could it have been?"
"Well, duh, I'll pay you whatever you want, you just have to find those pills."
"I thought we had to find who did it?"
"And them, too."
"Why the hell would anyone want birth control pills?"
"Well..."
"Don't."
"Okay."
"We'll have to go on what we have."
They tried to think what could possibly have happened to those pills.
"They should've gotten a girl to do this!"exclaimed Pietro. "As if we cared what happened to birth control pills!"
"Well, it had to have been a girl."
"Or maybe her boyfriend?"
"Why?"
Arm shrugged.
"He might've. Some guys would like to get married, I've heard."
Everyone looked shocked.
"You get all kinds of weird people."
"Too true."
"Well...?"
"I have no idea."
"Maybe we should just forget about it."
"No, if it was a girl, then we'd better ask a girl."
"Well, you can use them for quite a lot of things."someone told them.
"Really?"
"The doctor prescribes them for me for...you really don't want to know. The point is, you could try figuring out who isn't...you know, that might say something."she told them.
"That wasn't much help!"
"Of course not."
They went the whole day without anything.
"I guess the only way is to tell her we just don't have a single clue."
"But we need that money!"whined Toad.
"I know, but we'll have to wait for another case."
"AAAHHH! No! It was Pietro."
"What?"
"Well, yeah, I mean, I saw him sneaking them in."
"What do you mean?"
"What would I want with those pills."
"To play a joke on them."
Pietro burst out laughing.
"See."
"Why, though?"
"Don't you get it?"he asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
"What are we going to say?"
"She just wanted to see them back, so we don't say anything, yo."
They gave Jean the pills back. She was so glad to see them, that she kissed Pietro on the cheek when he handed them to her. She payed them twice the amount, and happily left.
"Oh, well, at least we got twice the money."
"See."said Pietro. "I took them the last time we solved one mystery for them, you know the one about the beer. If something was missing, then they would be bound to call us!"
"Hmm, true."
They ordered pizza, and ate when the phone rang. Arm answered it.
